my front speakers are going in and out

[iwannacivicsi]

so for a while now all my speakers have been working just fine except for my front left speaker(it goes in and out on occasion). two nights ago, i had to raise my volume louder than usual to actually have it at the perfect volume(i usually put it on 10 and i had to go to like 17). last night i was driving and my right speaker just went out (the volume wasnt loud so i know i didnt blow the speaker). can anyone help me out?

i have an alpine head unit, eclipse amp, and 10in kicker sub

i would say to take out the radio and check your wires at the harness, other then that it could most likely be your head unit unless the previous owner of the car screwed up some wiring where the speakers are...

 

[iwannacivicsi]

i tried that, the wiring is actually pretty bad. the left speaker is actually the right and vice versa lol but the thing is i have no clue how to wire it all

When you have the volume set to 10, but it sounds like its on 5 or 1, Press forward on the head unit, the volume might fade back to 10. try that.

check your speaker connections maybe they used electric tape to cover the connectiion for the speakers and thats coming off and touching some metal part causing it to become unstable.. just my drunk 2 cents. if its not that i guess get another head unit..

there is electric tape on the connections, what should i do to fix it?

 

[CRX_dude]

closed end connectors.. i would newly splice the wires before reconnecting them

if you are scared to unwrap some tape then you should probably take it to an audio shop...
